Your hosts — Shane Ivey of Arc Dream Publishing and The Unspeakable Oath, Adam Scott Glancy of Pagan Publishing, and Ross Payton of Role Playing Public Radio — recently had a great conversation with Gwen and Brian Callahan, organizers of Portland’s H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and Cthulhu Con. We talked all about the festival, the weirdness and fun of Portland, Cthulhu Mythos movies and TV shows, and tons more. And we have some updates on The Unspeakable Oath 24, Delta Green, and a few other projects.
